Jordan DMSN 95 Black

The Story Behind the Jordan DMSN 95

The Jordan DMSN 95 connects modern everyday comfort with one of basketball footwear’s most influential designs: the Air Jordan 11.

Originally released in 1995 and designed by Tinker Hatfield, the Air Jordan 11 became known for its sleek profile, mesh construction, translucent outsole, and signature patent-leather styling. Its design helped blur the line between performance basketball footwear and fashion, giving the shoe an elevated look that worked both on the court and beyond it. Nike’s archive identifies the Air Jordan 11 as a 1995 release and credits Hatfield as its designer.

The DMSN 95 reinterprets that heritage for everyday wear. Rather than reproducing the original shoe exactly, it uses the AJ11 as a design reference and updates the silhouette with a modern low-cut shape, leather construction, Cushlon 3.0 foam, and an encapsulated Nike Air-Sole unit. Nike describes the model as a modern remix created for versatility and comfort.

The result is a lifestyle sneaker with a recognizable Jordan connection but a more relaxed, contemporary feel—designed for customers who appreciate sneaker history while wanting comfort for everyday movement.

• Leather upper for structure and durability
• Cushlon 3.0 foam cushioning
• Encapsulated Nike Air-Sole unit
